BREVE FICHA INFORMATIVA DE AMIGOS DE LA TIERRA INTERNACIONAL REPASO DEL CONCEPTO DE EQUIDAD

The document argues that climate equity requires developed nations to take the lead in reducing emissions and providing financial and technological support to developing nations due to their historical responsibility. It advocates for limiting global temperature rise to 1.5°C through a carbon budget based on responsibility, capacity, and the right to sustainable societies. The text calls for a systemic economic transformation away from neoliberalism and fossil fuels toward community-led renewable energy and agroecology.

• Climate equity is defined as ensuring that countries with the highest historical greenhouse gas emissions implement the greatest reductions to justly distribute the carbon budget, as developed nations have already exceeded their fair share of atmospheric space.
• Developed countries hold a significant historical responsibility and a 'climate and ecological debt' to developing nations, resulting from the unfair consumption of resources and atmospheric space, which has created disparities in the ability of nations to manage the climate crisis.
• To maintain a global temperature increase below 1.5°C—a threshold considered technically and economically viable by the World Bank and the Stockholm Environment Institute—an immediate revolution in energy, food, and transport production and consumption is required, as 0.8°C of warming has already occurred and another 0.6°C is inevitable.
• The document proposes that the global carbon budget be allocated based on three criteria: responsibility (those who pressured the climate system most must commit to the largest reductions), capacity (those with more financial and technological resources must take more commitments), and the right to sustainable societies (prioritizing the most vulnerable and future generations).
• Addressing the climate crisis requires a systemic shift away from neoliberalism and 'false solutions' like carbon markets and offsets, moving instead toward community-owned clean energy, agroecology, and the end of deforestation.
